  • Toss-bombing always looks cool, but has had very little application before this war. With dumb bombs it’s inaccurate, and with precision bombs countries like America gain air supremacy and fly high and drop from level flight. The Hammer is well suited for contested environments in this war as it gives much more range when lobbed from low altitude as it’s rocket assisted.

    Target selection for them will be interesting. They have a higher payload than something like a GMLRS round, so the Hammers are likely to be primarily used against buildings with troops or supplies, as we see in this video.






  • rather than just being normal and evaluating the law on ‘does it seem normal or moral to ban this’

    This is the job of the legislature. To make law based on norms and morals, as well as a dozen other factors.

    almost like ConStITuTUiOnALiTy is a dumb fucking way validate the law

    The job of the judiciary is to rule based on what the various laws say, which obviously includes the Constitution.

    Do you really want the judiciary ignoring the law and legislating from the bench? Remember, your preferred group isn’t the one in the majority.

    It appears to be nothing more than a reckless gesture to piss off the Russians.

    What is Russia going to do, invade Ukraine?

    Ukraine has been firing Himars, Storm Shadows and other Western supplied weapons into Russia — primarily Belgorod and Crimea

    1. Crimea is occupied Ukrainian territory, not Russian territory

    2. Ukraine was not firing HIMARS-based missiles, Storm Shadows, and other Western supplied weapons into Belgorod. That is the whole policy change here. No longer is Ukraine expected to just take punches and be barred from shooting at the aggressor. Now they can use western supplied weapons to destroy Russian assets in Russia.
